Solution Overview

Problem

Current cannabis formulations for mammals and avians lack optimal dosing and long-term effect data, are costly, and do not efficiently achieve beneficial effects, necessitating the development of formulations that minimize dosages while ensuring safety and efficacy.

Innovation Solution

Cannabis-containing compositions in gel formulations, including natural or synthetic cannabidiol, terpenes, and flavonoids, with excipients like vegetable oil and microcrystalline cellulose, suitable for various administration routes, including oral, topical, and transdermal, to enhance bioavailability and therapeutic effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If cannabis formulations are administered to achieve beneficial therapeutic effects, then therapeutic efficacy is improved, but cost increases and dosage optimization is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoidcost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the physical and chemical parameters of cannabis formulations through gel-based delivery systems, liposomal encapsulation, and nanotechnology. These parameter changes improve bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy while reducing the required dosage and cost of administration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If cannabis formulations are administered to achieve beneficial therapeutic effects, then therapeutic efficacy is improved, but safe dosing information is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetherapeutic efficacyVSAvoiddosing information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by conducting comprehensive pre-clinical studies, pharmacokinetic analysis, and safety assessments before clinical administration. This preliminary research establishes safe dosing ranges, optimal formulations, and expected outcomes, reducing the loss of dosing information during actual therapeutic use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If traditional cannabis formulations are used, then administration is simple, but bioavailability is low and therapeutic outcomes are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadministration simplicityVSAvoidbioavailability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies composite materials by combining cannabis extracts with gel bases, liposomal structures, and nanocarriers. These composite formulations maintain ease of administration through various delivery routes while dramatically improving bioavailability and therapeutic outcomes compared to traditional formulations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
